Profile:

Well past his peak by the time India entered Test cricket, he was charged with the responsibility of being their first captain, a role he filled admirably. EW Swanton described him as "the side's most cultured and dangerous player". Averaging over 40 with the bat, as well as taking 65 wickets, he had a superb tour, and led his side with confidence. He bowled a well-controlled slow medium, with immaculate length and enough spin to beat the bat. As a batsman, he favoured the front foot, his driving particularly strong. He liked to loft the ball, and hit some notable sixes. He vice-captained the 1936 touring side, with less success, but still contributed important runs and wickets. He made over 10,000 runs in his first class career which spanned a remarkable 47 years (he appeared in a single first class game at the age of 68). His career best innings was 200 in the Ranji trophy, made in his 51st year. His son was a first class cricketer, his brother CS Nayudu represented India, and he was much involved in the administration of indian cricket as selector and vice-president of the BCCI.
